mega session today!

 everything felt really good. Warmed up and pulled 120lbs on a 20mm edge with my right hand for 6 seconds and lifted it off the ground with my left. That ties my best I think. 

Then I sent my first V7 on the moonboard second go. I dropped the first move in a silly way and then felt very comfortable on the send go. 

Very nearly sent ladybug and learned a lot about how to do the last move. That could go Sunday or next Friday. 

Sent a v5/6c to bring total up to 15 6c's and then tried a v6 and nearly flashed it! I was on the next to last hold thinking, 'holy shmoly I'm gonna do it' and then the heel I had placed popped and I fell. Dang. Very happy with that though. 

Hadn't done weighted pull-ups in months and met or exceeded my previous bests. I did 3 sets of 5 with 53lbs and felt pretty good so then I tried one set of 3 with +50% bodyweight and felt good so I went for one rep of +100lbs and it moved better than it's ever moved before so that was awesome. 

I have a very mild cold but I've rested really well the past two days so it made for a pretty great day. 

And my sister is moving to town today!

And my parents have been helping me out at camp and it's great and I really appreciate them.

And um, 

my neighbor and I were talking and he hates warm rain and I hate cold rain and we got into a discussion about the line in Natasha Bedingfield's timeless classic Unwritten,

Reaching for something in the distance

so close you can almost taste it

release your inhibitions

feel the rain on your skin!

Is the rain in that song a cold rain or a warm rain? What do you think and why?
